Description

1985; Britain has had to endure race riots, minor strikes and a milk-snatching Prime Minister, but for Brian (James McAvoy  THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND), life seems more complicated. A working class kid commanding a wealth of general knowledge, Brians ambition to appear on TVs UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE is within his grasp, but communicating with the fairer sex proves to be something of a non-starter. With a place on the show assured, Brian is ready for anything  anything except for falling in love with fellow student and team-mate Alice, that is. To complicate matters further, Brian must resist the temptation of animal rights activist Rebecca and overcome the nagging doubt that hes about to become the pretentious student his childhood friends fear. <BR><BR><BR><BR> With a wall-to-wall soundtrack of 80s chart toppers and cameos from some of Britains hottest comedy talent, STARTER FOR 10 is a romantic comedy with a bittersweet edge and guaranteed to win you over.

I have seen this DVD before and wanted a copy for my daughter. The film follows a working class lad from Essex who goes to university and ends up on University Challenge. Benedict Cumberbatch is so brilliant at comedy, I laughed so much. Its also a really sweet love story too....

This film seemed to have been made in a hurry. I read the novel by David Nicholls which made me burst out with laughter frequently. The film didnt have much depth and without reading the book I doubt people would glean much from the film plot.
